Help & FAQ
-
Is this bike even legal?
Yup - all our 250W models are fully legal in WA. No rego, no licence, no insurance needed. Just hop on and ride.
Under WA law, e-bikes are street legal if they:
Have a 250W motor (max)
Cut out at 25km/h
Require pedalling (aka no throttle-only starts)
And that’s exactly what we sell. So you’re good to go
-
How far can it go?
Depends how hard you’re pushing it - but up to 100km+ on a single charge if you treat her right (light pedalling, low assist, no hills of death). The range drops if you're full boost, full throttle, or towing 3 cases of beer.
-
How long does it take to charge?
About 4-6 hours. Plug it in like your phone. Except this one actually gets you somewhere.
-
Can I ride it in the rain?
Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, but don’t take it swimming. Our bikes are water-resistant, not waterproof.
-
Can I ride it without pedalling?
In the 250W version (the legal one), no - you’ll need to pedal to activate the motor.
On the 1000W off-road beast version… let’s just say it moves real quick. (Only legal off public roads.) -
What’s the weight limit?
Most models can carry up to 150kg, including you + your groceries + your emotional baggage.
-
Can I take a passenger?
Yep - double bench seat, double the good times. Just make sure they hold on tight and buy you snacks.
-
What if something breaks?
Local support. Local servicing. Local humans. We’ve got your back (and your battery).
-
How do I turn on my bike?
Flick the red battery switch to ON. Hold the Power button on the keypad until the screen lights up. Pick your Pedal Assist level (PAS 1-6) depending on how fast or chill you want to ride.
-
How do I charge the battery?
Plug in the original DiroDi charger. If you're charging with the battery still on the bike, make sure the red switch is OFF.
Always unplug it once it's full - don't leave it charging overnight.
-
What is PAS?
PAS = Pedal Assist System. It gives you motor boost while you pedal.
PAS 1 = cruisy (max range)
PAS 6 = zippy (faster but drains battery quicker).
Set it to 0 if you want to pedal manually like a regular bike. here -
How do I use the throttle?
Set PAS to 1 or higher first.
Push the grey toggle IN to turn throttle “always on” (up to 6km/h for 250W bikes).
Toggle OUT for cruise control.

Throttle Unlock
Step-by-Step:
Turn off the bike completely.
Hold the throttle fully twisted (wide open).
Hold brake lever at the same time.
While holding throttle + brake, do this:
Turn the bike ON, wait 1 second, then turn it OFF.
Repeat ON > OFF a total of 3 times.
So: ON → OFF → ON → OFF → ON → OFF (while holding throttle + brake).
Then release the throttle and brake.
Turn the bike ON one final time.
Throttle is now unlocked (full-speed throttle mode enabled).
To Lock It Again:
Repeat the same exact process (throttle + brake hold, on/off x3, then final on) - the bike will revert to the default limited mode (6 km/h throttle cap).
-

What tyre pressure should I use?
Road riding: 30 PSI
Off-road trails: 20 PSI
Beach riding: drop to 15 PSI
Check tyre pressure monthly to keep your ride smooth. -
How do I secure my bike?
Jot down your serial number (on the frame).
Use a solid U-lock, and consider adding a GPS tracker (e.g. AirTag or third-party unit).
Avoid leaving it locked up outside overnight if possible.
-
How do I look after the bike?
Give it a quick once-over now and then
Tighten wheel nuts every 3 months
Wipe down with a damp cloth (no hosing!)
Lube the chain after cleaning
Store the battery between 10–25°C
Book a Rodi Haus Tech Check every 6–12 months to keep it running sweet
-
